Assn demands special police team to look into students' unnatural death cases

November 9, 2013

Mangalore, Nov 9: Demanding formation of a special police team to specifically look into mysterious death of college students, the All College Student Association (ACSA) staged a day-long hunger stir in front of Deputy Commissioner's office here on Saturday.

Speaking on the backdrops of case of Akshatha (18), a second year B.Com student of Venkataramana Government First Grade College, Car Street who was found dead near an ice plant at Mulihitlu on September 25 after she went missing from her home at Adyar on September 23, Rakshit S Poojary, president of ACSA said that there have been many cases of teenage girls going missing and Akshatha's case was just the tip of the iceberg.

“Akshatha had left home to attend special classes but she never went to college. Her relatives filed a complaint at Mangalore Rural police station the next day. It was learnt that Akshatha was friendly with a boy from Manjeshwar who too has gone missing,” he said suspecting foul play in the case.

He said that even post-mortem reports have not shed light on the cause for Akshatha's death.

“Now the police department has to form a special team for investigating this case,” he said.

Akshatha's mother Rajani addressing the gathering said that Akshatha was the ray of hope for the family which was wading through tough times due to poverty.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

News Network

October 7,2024

Mangaluru, Oct 7: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the search for Mumtaz Ali, chairman of Misbah Group of Educational Institutions, ended with the discovery of his mortal remains in the Phalguni river near Kulur. The somber discovery came after an exhaustive search, leaving a community in shock and sorrow.

He is the younger brother of former MLA Mohuiddin Bawa and former MLC B M Farookh.

The incident has taken a deeply distressing turn with the filing of an FIR against six individuals, including a woman, who are accused of pushing Ali to a tragic end.

The accused allegedly blackmailed Ali, fabricating a story about his involvement in an illicit relationship with the woman. Reports suggest that they extorted Rs 50 lakh from Ali and were unrelenting, demanding an additional Rs 50 lakh from him, casting a shadow over his final days.

The complaint, lodged by Ali’s grieving brother, accuses these individuals of driving him to despair through relentless blackmail and false accusations, ultimately leading him to take the tragic step.

In the early hours of Sunday, Ali left his home at 3 am, heading towards Suratkal, perhaps seeking some solace. A minor accident occurred when his car collided with a private bus near MCF. Despite the mishap, he offered a heartfelt apology to the bus driver and conductor—a gesture that now echoes with the pain of his unspoken struggles. After the collision, Ali made a U-turn near Panambur circle, driving back towards Kulur bridge, where his journey came to a sorrowful end.

Ali’s last moments hold an even deeper sadness, as he left behind a voice message in Byari, naming an individual who had been tormenting him mentally. Sent to his daughter and a close friend, the message revealed the unbearable burden he was carrying, hinting at his final decision to end his suffering.

This tragic loss has left the community and his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and a profound sense of grief. As the investigation unfolds, the memory of Mumtaz Ali lingers, a reminder of the silent battles that too often go unseen.
